Oral language plays a vital role in children’s learning, literacy and social and emotional development.

Our latest guide supports parents and educators with practical, evidence-informed strategies to help children build school-ready language skills.

The guide explores:
• Building oral language through meaningful interaction
• Supporting listening and attention
• Growing children’s vocabulary
• Sharing stories and naming feelings
• Working with settings to spot and support language needs
• Using evidence-based approaches to meet individual needs

With language developing rapidly between the ages of two and six, early support can make a lasting difference to children’s confidence, communication and readiness for school.

Please ensure your child has a drink in school. If your child will not be in school tomorrow for any reason please contact the office in the morning. Thanks.

Violent clips, online conflicts and shock-value challenges can spread rapidly across social media platforms. Many young people are exposed to this content through algorithms or messaging groups, even when they were not actively searching for it.

Our latest guide explores how viral trends can encourage risky behaviour, normalise violence and create anxiety or fear within communities.

The guide also highlights:
• The emotional and legal risks of sharing violent content
• How social media algorithms amplify harmful material
• Practical advice for parents and educators
